Gaza charity offers $1.4 million for capture of IDF soldiers

"Well Mark Lincoln what is your opinion." - Bibi My opinion is that the offer is less than charitable by the reckoning of any religion. Certainly in the case of Islam charity which is the Third Pillar of the religion. Charity, Zakah, for a Muslim is mandatory. It is a function of accumulated wealth, and is given to ease economic hardship and inequality. Clearly what is being offered is not 'charity' but rather a bounty which is not to be given upon the basis of need, or inequality. It is a price put upon the head of another person to be paid for delivering that person into captivity. It is neither munificent or benevolent, but rather ruthless and punitive. Those who make the offer have betrayed the obligation of charity by misusing the funds given for that purpose. They are in fact people who have betrayed one of the Five Pillars of Islam. "Dont forget our quota for this story is at least four posts." - bibi One is all that is necessary.

When a terrorist group has enough money to offer a huge reward in its illegal endeavors, there's no need for more aid from the West. EU and UN, please note the Gazans are being held hostage by Hamas. Why do you let them get away with this?

I am so sick of all the people in the world saying that Israel is an occupying power. If that argument was true how could their be any territories owned and controled by Palestinians. Would not Israel really occupied them by now? The reality is that through force and genocide the world was unable to destroy Israel. Thank God that Israel doesnt act like the nations that hate it. For their true desire is Israels destruction. When Israels true desire is existence. Who has decieved the nations into hating Israel. And those who hate without cause bring their own shame on their head.

We have yet to hear from our resident expert and genius on all subjects. Well Mark Lincoln what is your opinion. Dont forget our quota for this story is at least four posts. We can expect a scholarly dissertatin on the Waad Charity Group as I am sure that you know all about its activities. We wait with baited breath.

and if you had money the shops are empty, Gaza isn't Oxford street.

if I understood right that ""charity""?? is ofering 1.4 million for a IDF soldier, does it mean dlls or euros? because at todays echange ratios I belive a ""charity"" in Mexico may offer about five pesos(about .40 us cents)for an Arab from Gaza. I am talking on the prize of the merchandise.

Your hate is showing. Read the article it says nothing about boarder. IT SAYS ISRAEL What border do you mean. THe Arabs by attacking keep chanching the borders.

Jews of all nations are in harms way. If you think these donkeys are going to stop at IDF your crazy. After the Jews how about the guards at the vatican?

Guess this charity has so much money it doesn't need anymore donations. It's time the world community wake up and see how their money is being spent.Carter and his charities and those that give top the Palestinians have been taken for a ride.What a bunch of fools for donating. How many Pals will benefit from 1.4 million that is used for kidnappings?

where Shalit is and give Israel the way to get him out... you will find a lot of dead Hamas terrorists. they will kill there owns mothers for that money.

This "charity' The Waad group, just made itself a legitimate war target. The next round of fighting that happens in Gaza this "charity" is going to evaporate into a big dust ball of hair, teeth and eyeballs. Try using your time, money and energy on something productive for your own people since you're a "charity." I hope the IDF now knows the location of this "charity" as "Target #1" if another IDF solider is kidnapped.

Wouldn,t it be so convenient if Israel could just pop into Gaza and blow the place up and then go home for tea. Sorry old dear---life dont work that way---much as you might like to think it does.

Nothing new, this is their well known M O, human shields, placing weapons in civilian areas., come y'all wake up.

Could there be any stronger proof as to one reason the Pals are wallowing in poverty. That money should be spent on the people to advance their quality of life. The pals have received billions from a naive world, they should have water power schools, hospitals and other quality of life things. Instead they buy weapons and offer money for despicable actions.

By committing itself to a military objective (seizing Israeli soldiers), this charity, its installations and all of its personnel, including fund-raisers abroad, just became legitimate targets for attack under international law and the Geneva Conventions. Good hunting, IDF! Be sure to save the receipts for the helicopter missiles - they might be tax-deductible "donations" to this Gaza charity.

Peter, I thought you were going to suggest that the great one's Carter, Jackson (Jesse) and so forth should travel to Gaza and bring Gilad back. I thought you were going to ask "and where are they". Cheers my friend.

If this is a charity, what is a terror organisation?

"The Waad group sent an e-mail on Wednesday calling on people living in Israel to try take soldiers hostage." This has nothing to do with the Gaza boarder; they want Arabs living INSIDE Israel to kidnap soldiers Hamas wants them to do this knowing that Israel will take steps against their Arab citizens. This is nothing more then a way for Hamas to ruin the lives Israeli Arabs have by bring them into this war

The kidnapping of Israelis for purposes of Pali terrorism should be cause for an automatic death sentence!

Your hatred of the Jewish people routinely comes forth in your posts. But let's agree - Israel will draw back somewhat from the internationally recognized Israeli-Gaza border, and the US will withdraw our troops and border police from our borders so the Hezbollah funded narco-terrorists from Mexico can transverse unmolested into the Southern US! Fair is fair!

better get a reality check, clearly you're living in some twilight zone

Of course , some here on this site will understand kidnappers , but logically the ton is warranted .

Yah, and if women didn't go out in public, their chances of abuse would be reduced immeasurably. Your post is up to your usual standard, idiotic. Israelies have every right to go up to their border. If they don't, under the risk of kidnapping we have an occupation of Israeli land by Gazans. Anyway, the offer is completely idiotic and I would hope this signals the world that Gaza charities are not to be trusted with funds. How completely blind to loyally support cruelty and stupidity. Of course, that has been the story of the Arab street.

Good to know this Charity has so much money. Why don't they feed and educate Gazans with it. I keep seeing on the international media how poor Gaza is. Makes Hamas liars.

...they wouldn't run any risk. That's easy enough.

If Hamas and Gazans, (and we will see if it carries over to the West Bank) believe that Israeli offer to pay for information on the whereabouts and well being of Gilad Shalit is equal to the kidnapping of another soldier. Well It will be nearly impossible to speak the same language and view things in the same light. Also important to note is how this charity is not asking that Palestinians join the ranks of the Hamas militia. No, it is asking everyday civilians to kidnap Israeli soldiers. Some Charity Organization she is

This is the news the rest of the world overlooks, but not if we do something about it and email it to our friends, post on our social networking sites, etc. Most of the world has no clue about what we're up against and here's our chance. They apparently don't have the money to build schools, hospitals, or industry but they sure have enough to do this?!

This was always Hamas 's intention. They are in trouble and not getting anywhere. The West is getting sick of them, governing Gaza requires money that they cannot raise and all the obligations that go with State hood which is what they have - all except the industry, capital, and systems that are required of all States, instead they live of donations and beg. Soldiers are well aware and carry for this anyway. Charity status should be highlighted politically to show awareness of Hamas true intent.

Why not? Businesses outsource all the time. Makes economic sense.

When will the world wake up.

plus the usual mob who heap abuse here under the guise of human rights. Some charity! Are the Euro mob who abuse the court system going to call for any arrests?

This statement QUOTE A Gaza charity linked to the ruling Hamas militant group is offering $1.4 million to anybody who captures an Israeli soldier.END QUOTE just belays the difference between us and shows how indifferent the Hamas is to their own poor and hungry. If they have so much money available for inane offers such as this than how can they have the nerve to complain about Palestinian poor. Why don't they use the money to improve the medical equipment at Shifra Hospital?

So Hamas is out sourcing now?

If a charity has $1.4 million to offer as a reward for anybody who kidnaps a soldier then its obvious that people are giving to much to charity. Charities offering rewards for kidnapping soldiers really is stooping low even for palestinians. I WARN ALL ISRAELIS CIVILIAN AND SOLDIER ALIKE DONT HITCHIKE OR TAKE ANY RISKS WHERE THERE IS A RISK OF YOU BEING TAKEN.

This is a very scary article. The call to kidnap IDF soldiers was not to Palestinians living in the west bank or Gaza. This was a call to Israeli Arabs to kidnap IDF soldiers. An action like this can quickly turn bad for all Arabs living here. Many Jewish Israelis do not trust the loyalty of these people and this could very easily become a turning point that pushes the rest of the country in that direction.

Mr.Kahlout just signed his own death warrant.
